This traditional Chapman Woods home, solidly built in 1936, offers vintage charm with modern amenities. South-facing and shaded by old oaks, it packs a lot into 1,696 sq. ft. – large living room with wood-burning fireplace; formal dining room leading to the used-brick terrace; eat-in kitchen with an extra oven, lots of space on counters and in cabinets, and laundry room just steps away; 3 bedrooms; 2 baths; and plenty of storage (in closets, the convenient CA basement, and garage cabinets. ) Many original details remain – hardwood floors, wainscoting, built-in bookshelves, decorative woodwork, plaster walls, even doorknobs. Changes were designed to look like they’d been there all along. The rooms have good proportions and large windows that bring the outside in. With good circulation and easy access to the outdoors, this house is perfect as is for a couple that likes to entertain and spend time outside. What’s more, the U-shaped floor plan provides options: a bedroom with connected bath now used as a den could provide privacy for a teenager or elderly parent. And the 10,159 sq. ft. lot is large enough to support your dream house or build out as the family grows. This elegant home has had only two long-term owners; will you be the next?!
